(adapted from www.mi6.co.uk / EON press release)

This is Campbell

Casino Royale, I'm surprised it took them this long to make it!

 

[0-0 (A13X!!) 0-0]

why have they decided to do this?

there is already a james bond movie named that but whihc is not in the classic collection (probably not good enough or summat) is it a whole new story line or are they just remaking the old one?

The Casino Royale fim was not made by MGM, it was a spoof

 

[I dont know!]

It was made by a different company and was never an official Bond. It was meant to be a spoof but as mentioned many times before it failed because you cannot spoof a spoof

 

[Good girl gone bad]

i wish quentin tarantino would be directing it

Hope this does not mean Eon are slipping back into the cosy/lazy ways of the eighties which almost destroyed the franchise. I thought the new film new director format was working well. I am no great fan of Tarantino but there are a lot of good directors out there. Martin Campbell has not exactly been a massive success after Goldeneye, he's done another Zorro and now another Bond.

 

[Amandasaur!]

I think it's a crap idea - They're obviously totally out of inspiration.
